You need docutils to build the parameter docs. You can download the
tarball from:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/docutils/docutils-0.7.tar.gz?download

Extract it somewhere appropriate then add something like this to your
user-config.jam:

using docutils : /Users/daniel/boost/docutils-0.7 ;

I didn't run the install script for docutils - just used it in place.
It might be possible to set boost build up to use a properly installed
docutils but I've never looked into how to do it.
